MESSAGE FROM THE

S E N I O R PASTO R

Greetings, brothers and sisters in Christ!

It is once again a great privilege to have the entire

church come together, albeit virtually, for our Mid-
Year Prayer and Fasting. The theme of this week is
in line with our new series about the End Times.

It is my hope and prayer that instead of responding

in fear or paranoia, we as those who bear the Living
Hope and are to be salt and light to the world, will
see this as an opportunity to share more about
Jesus and win more people by no other means but
the GOSPEL of CHRIST.

For this mid-year P&F, we will focus on verses that

can help us prepare for the Lord’s Coming. Back in
the time of the New Testament, we were already
warned that the end is coming soon – and if that
was 2000 years ago, aren’t we even closer to the
finish line today?

The truth is, nobody knows the exact time of Christ’s

return, but we know for a fact that the signs of the
time will include hardships and tribulations. We
need to be more vigilant, making firm our faith in
 3

Christ, and pursuing the accomplishment of the

great commission to the best of our efforts, for the
glory and honor of our God.

I hope this week will be a week of rekindling the

fire in you. As the Holy Spirit leads, let us step out
of fear and hold on to the great promises given to
us, looking forward to Christ’s return and making
sure we and the people we love dearly are ready.

May God give all of us an encounter with Him in our

prayer and devotion time, and may our hearts be
ready to hear from Him and obey Him consistently.

God bless our church as we go through this year’s

Mid-Year Prayer and Fasting!

In Christ,

Dr. Peter Tan-Chi

GUIDE
Thank you for joining Intercede!
Christ’s Commission Fellowship’s bi-annual prayer
and fasting weeks are held every start and middle of
the year for us to express our dependence on God and
recalibrate ourselves to His will.
As we fast and pray, study and apply His Word, and gather
together from Wednesday to Saturday for corporate
worship and prayer, let us confidently bring our needs
to Him, the God who is the same yesterday, today, and
forever (Hebrews 13:8).
To help us prepare for the prayer and fasting week,
here are some answers to common questions
and some practical tips.

W H AT I S P R AY E R ?
Prayer is conversing and communing with God and
listening to Him for the purpose of aligning our will
to His. We come before God in the name of Jesus,
based on His Word (the Bible), and guided by His
Holy Spirit. When we pray, we worship Him, pour our
hearts out in thanksgiving to Him as our Heavenly
Father, bring to Him our needs and the needs of
others, and ask that His Kingdom come and His will
be done in our lives (Matthew 6:9-13; 1 John 5:14-15;
John 16:23-24; Jude 20).
 GUIDE 2

W H AT I S F A S T I N G ?
Fasting is the voluntary abstinence from food for a
specified duration of time to feast in God’s presence.
This may require repentance from sin and a healthy
expression of remorse, to earnestly seek God’s will,
and to be more intimate with God as we spend
extended time in reading His Word and in prayer.
Foregoing something essential such as food, allows
us to express how sincere and determined we are
in aligning ourselves with God’s heart by humbly
seeking His answers to our questions, praying for
His provisions for our needs, and asking for spiritual
breakthroughs.

While modern-day Christians may also fast (abstain)

from other things like entertainment, sports, and
social media, abstaining from food is the typical
expression of fasting in the Bible because we can
survive our entire lives without many things but
we cannot go on forever without food. Fasting is a
demonstration of our dependence on God and His
pleasure more than what sustains our physical life
(Nehemiah 1:4, 9:1; Esther 4:3; Daniel 9:3; Joel 2:12;
Matthew 6:16-18; Acts 13:2; Isaiah 58).
 GUIDE 3

WHY SHOULD WE FA ST ?
God expects us to fast.

Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy

face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their
appearance so that they will be noticed by
men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you,
they have their reward in full. But you, when
you fast, anoint your head and wash your face.
– Matthew 6:16-17

Jesus said “Whenever you fast”, not “If you fast.”

This means that fasting, like prayer, is not an option.
Fasting is part of the Christian life.

Jesus fasted.

And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights,

He then became hungry. – Matthew 4:2

Before Jesus’ ministry, He fasted for forty days.

He knew He needed spiritual strength to fulfill His
purpose. Fasting makes us physically weak but
spiritually stronger and more prepared to do God’s
work.

The early church fasted.

Then, when they had fasted and prayed and

laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
– Acts 13:3 (see also Acts 14:23)
 GUIDE 4

The Church fasted for Saul (Paul) and Barnabas. Later,

Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders in various
churches, fasting and praying before commending
these leaders to the Lord.

Fasting demonstrates humility before God.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing

was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fasting;
and my prayer kept returning to my bosom.
– Psalm 35:13 (See also 1 Kings 21:27-29; Ezra 8:21)

Humility lets us experience God’s grace. When

we humble ourselves in prayer and turn from our
wicked ways, God promises to hear us and answer
us according to His perfect will.

Fasting makes us sensitive to the leading of the

Holy Spirit.

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the

Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the
wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the
devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and
when they had ended, He became hungry.
– Luke 4:1-2 (See also Acts 13:2, Matthew 17:21, Mark 9:29)

We are prone to forget our priorities. Fasting is a

visible reminder that God takes precedence over all
our needs. Fasting lifts up matters at hand to God
who is able to do awesome works that will bring Him
great glory.
 GUIDE 5

Fasting brings about personal and national

spiritual revival.

And My people who are called by My name humble

themselves and pray and seek My face and turn
from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
– 2 Chronicles 7:14

So I gave my attention to the Lord God

to seek Him by prayer and supplications,
with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
– Daniel 9:3

Fasting prompts revival to an individual and the

country. It brings forth a stirring that will heal, change,
and prepare us for greater things in God’s kingdom.

Fasting is good for our health.

Fasting improves our physical condition. Many

impurities in the body are burned up when the body
is denied food, thus, clearing the mind, cleansing, and
healing the body. Even people who are underweight
who fast for spiritual purposes have been known
to gain weight after completing their fasts. Many
Bible teachers say that a three-day fast is especially
beneficial for spiritual cleansing and also for breaking
addictive habits.

 GUIDE 6

W H AT A R E T H E D I F F E R E N T
KINDS OF FA STING?
There are probably as many ways to fast as there
are ways to pray, but these four ideas are a starting
point.

NORMAL FAST

In a normal fast, a person goes without food for a

predetermined amount of time. Water is allowed
and necessary. Extreme care should be taken with
long fasts (more than a week), especially if there are
underlying medical conditions. It is prudent to consult
your physician if you are planning to embark on a
long fast.

PA R TI A L FA S T

In a partial fast, a person only eats certain kinds

of food for a period of time or has just one to two
meals a day. In the Bible, Daniel and John the Baptist
maintained a certain diet during their fasts. The 18th
Century preacher John Wesley had only bread and
water for many days as his fast.
 GUIDE 7

JUICE FA ST

This is a partial fast specifically restricted to only

juices.

OBJECT FA ST

It is possible to fast from something other than food.

Some decide to fast from watching television, using
social media, or using the computer outside of work
or school. The key is to replace the time spent on that
activity with time devoted to the Lord. For married
couples, this could mean abstaining from physical
intimacy to focus on prayer (1 Corinthians 7:5).

S TA R T I N G A N D B R E A K I N G
YO U R FA S T
It is important for you to start and end your fast
gradually. Start cutting down on your food intake,
especially those with caffeine (coffee, tea, soft
drinks) days before you fast. More importantly,
pray in advance for God to sustain you physically,
mentally, and spiritually during your fast. For the first
few meals after your fast, do not immediately go
back to your normal food intake. Taking soft food
in moderate amounts is best to allow your body to
adjust and get back to its normal digestion.
 GUIDE 8

PRECAUTIONS
While there are benefits to fasting, some should
not fast without professional medical supervision.
For example:

• Persons who are physically too thin

• Persons who are prone to eating disorders

• Those who suffer from weakness or anemia

• Persons who have been diagnosed with

certain ailments that require continuous
nutrition

• Pregnant and nursing women

• People taking prescription medication

Consult your doctor before you begin your fast.

Be aware that some doctors may not have been
trained in this area so their understanding of it
may be limited.
 GUIDE 9

SUGGESTIONS
F O R P R AY E R
As we go through a number of Scripture
passages for the next few days, we can
learn to pray through Scripture by using the
following outline.
 S U G G E S T I O N S F O R P R AY E R GUIDE 10

A doration
We worship God for who He is, what He has done,
and what He will continue to do. We focus on His
greatness and acknowledge His presence in our
lives. We declare that His glory and pleasure are
more important than our concerns and needs.

C onfession
We ask God to search our hearts. We admit and
confess our sins to Him. We ask for His forgiveness
and claim His promise to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. We pray for the Holy Spirit to fill,
strengthen, and empower us to flee temptations and
turn away from sin.

T hanksgiving
We thank God for His grace and faithfulness in
providing for all our daily needs, no matter how big
or small. We thank Him for the circumstances He is
allowing us to go through knowing that He is our
very present help in time of need. Most of all, we
thank Him in advance for how He will answer our
prayers according to His perfect will.

S upplication
We humbly bring before God who hears our
requests and our prayers of others. We express our
dependence on Him who is our Strength, Healer,
Provider, Protector, Comforter, Guide, and Friend.

mentioned: that all the nations would be
reached with the good news of Christ.
Indeed, national and global revival can be
fulfilled through fervent intercession and
Gospel proclamation.
 N AT I O N S 15
A P P LY I T :

1. How am I fulfilling the Great Commission where God

“But we do not want you to be uninformed,
brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you
will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.
14
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so God will bring with Him those who have
15
fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the
word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain
until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those
who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and
17
the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are
alive and remain will be caught up together with
them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and
so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore
comfort one another with these words.”
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

who are asleep and to those who are still alive at that
point? (v15)

3. How will the Lord meet us? Describe the sequence

of events. (vv16-17)

4. As Christ-followers, what are we looking forward to?

See Revelation 19:7-9.

As the Church awaits the Lord’s return, we

are called towards prayerfully comforting
and encouraging one another in the blessed
hope that we have. One day, Jesus will fetch
us and we will be with Him forever. Right
now, we do our part by being ready to meet
our Bridegroom for that wonderful reunion
in heaven.
 CHURCH 21
A P P LY I T :

1. What am I placing my hope and security in? How

can I refocus myself on being expectant of Christ’s

“Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom
his master put in charge of his household to give
them their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is
that slave whom his master finds so doing when he
comes. 47 Truly I say to you that he will put him in
48
charge of all his possessions. But if that evil slave
says in his heart, ‘My master is not coming for a long
49
time,’ and begins to beat his fellow slaves and
eat and drink with drunkards; 50 the master of that
slave will come on a day when he does not expect
him and at an hour which he does not know, 51 and
will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with
the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping

4. A “household” may mean your own family, the

closest relationships that you have, and your sphere
of influence. Who are the people that the Lord has
entrusted to your care?

We are called to be faithful servants in the

home. God has put us in charge of our certain
households or areas of influence and has
instructed us to steward these properly,
knowing that He will reward those who serve
Him. Ultimately, we answer to the Lord for
how faithful or unfaithful we have been in
taking care of those around us, including our
family and relationships.

of the Lord.

- To exhibit the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our life: love,

joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

- To glorify and praise God in all things, even in the

difficult relationships in our families.

• Let us confess our tendency to take our families for

granted, to ignore conflicts or relational tensions, as
well as our unforgiveness towards those who have
hurt us, especially in our family.

• Take the opportunity to pray with your family:

Encourage and appreciate one another for their
good qualities and actions. Take the time to ask one
another: “How can I improve?” then lift each other

the Son of Man.”
Luke 21:34-36

M E D I TAT E O N I T:

1. Twice Jesus emphasized: “be on guard”, “keep on the

The way to overcome our present woes and

worries is to be watchful over our personal

LORD'S SUPPER
GUIDE
P R E PA R E J U I C E
AND BREAD

R E A D : 1 C O R I N T H I A N S 1 1 : 2 3 -2 9

Why are we celebrating the Lord’s Supper?

• It is a symbolic meal that was instituted by our Lord
Jesus as a vivid reminder of what He has done for us.
We are to celebrate it often and remember Jesus by
“proclaiming His death until He comes” (verse 26). And
this is done through the Lord’s Supper.
• Before Jesus broke the bread and passed the cup, the
passage says that Jesus gave thanks (verse 24). Jesus
gave thanks for the opportunity to serve us by giving
His body and blood for our sakes!

What do the bread and the wine (in our case,

the juice) symbolize?
• The bread is a reminder of the body
of Jesus which was nailed to the
Cross (verse 24).
 LORD'S SUPPER GUIDE 35

• The juice is a reminder of the blood of Jesus which

was shed for us in the New Covenant (verse 25).
• We do not teach that the bread literally becomes the
body of Christ, nor do we say that the wine or juice
literally turns into His blood.
• Instead, we declare that these elements are just
representations of our Lord – who He is and what He
has done.
• To partake of these elements, therefore, is a symbolic
expression of our faith in Him and His finished work.

What should be our attitude before partaking in the

Lord’s Supper?
• We should have a thankful and grateful attitude as
we look back and look forward.
• Look back and thank our Lord Jesus for:
- His free gift of salvation and for forgiving our sins
- His attributes (faithful, forgiving, gracious, holy,
loving, unchanging)
- Who He is in our lives (Lord,
Master, Savior)
 LORD'S SUPPER GUIDE 36

- Blessings like our family (spouse, children, parents,

siblings), providing for our needs, etc. (i.e. count our
blessings)
- Opportunities to serve Him and His people (family,
friends, church)
• Look forward and thank our Lord Jesus for the
blessing of being alive today, and for the gift of
relationships (biological and spiritual family, friends,
Dgroups)
- How He will answer our prayers
- How He will walk us through - this pandemic
(individually, - as a family, as a nation)
- The promise that one day He will return
• Take some time to reflect
